filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend
Print
Finally, sanity is being restored, or at least an effort is being made to do so, in the 54th Filmfare Awards. I was so glad to see movies like Rock On, OLLO and MMJ winning, and movies like RNBDJ and Dostana taking a backseat. Although the nominations were a little fuzzy[some categories had 5 nominations and some had 6, just to please a few people I guess], but given the limited scope of the nominations, most of the awards were well deserved.
Let me start with the Lifetime Achievment Award section. Bhanu Athaiya was a very good choice, especially because costume designers have never really been given their due. In fact, the Best Costume Design category was introduced so late, in 1994, only after seeing what Manish Malhotra’s costume did to Urmila Matondkar; from a demure girl next door he turned her into a sex symbol overnight. Back to Bhanu, she won the Oscar for Gandhi[1982] and that’s been her greatest achievement till date. But considering her work in Bollywood, she did a good job in Lagaan, Swades, 1942ALS, Chandni and Razia Sultan. Her list of work shows her predilection and brilliance for period dramas where she has a fantastic sense of color, fabric and designing.
Om Puri being awarded this, ahead of Naseeruddin Shah, that was a bit of a disappointment. I think they should have been awarded together at least. These two giants of the arthouse cinema in the 1980’s did some terrific work. They have not been given enough credit, but this award is probably a way of doing so.
Coming to the Critics Award, Shahana Goswami was deserving of it. Her work in Rock On was awesome, her raw talent and the spontaneous expressions shone through very well. But at the same time, Manjot Singh for OLLO was not a very good choice in my opinion. In fact, Paresh Rawal and Abhay Deol deserved it more than Manjot. And outside of OLLO, Paresh Rawal for MMJ or Naseer for A Wednesday would have been a much better choice. Nishikant Kamat for MMJ was again a good pick, but I don’t understand this Special Jury Mention for Prateik Babbar and Purab Kohli. What does this award mean? And why Prateik Babbar?? For slouching on the couch, being untidy, and having the foresight that Sushant Modi[Ayaz Khan] is not the right guy for his sis?? And Purab Kohli! He had nothing to lose in Rock On, he was just caught in-between Arjun Rampal and Farhan Akhtar’s ego clash. When they called the band off, he happily joined his dad’s business; when the band was reinstated he started driving around in the SUV once more. He was happy either ways and did not help further the cause of the story.
Talking about stories, Best Story for Rock On was a little surprising. Lots of films in 2008 had amazing stories to tell, like Aamir, A Wednesday, MMJ. I kept cosoling myself that Dostana and Ghajini did not win it. Best Screenplay was awarded to MMJ and Best Dialogues to OLLO and I had no complains with it.
In the techincal awards section, two awards that I didn’t agree at all are Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction. I thought OLLO was shot on location, so where was the Production Design. And the costumes looked like everyday stuff, jogging suits, sneakers, waist-coats, casual wear. In fact, Jodha-Akbar deserved both these awards, for the elaborate sets and the intricate jewellery and costumes. I would like it if someone can explain this to me.
I was happy with all other awards, like Best Cinematography and Sound Design for Rock On, Best Editing went to MMJ, it could have gone to A Wednesday or Aamir too[except for the dragged last 20 mins]; and I cared less for Best Choregraphy, Best Action and Best Visual Effects where the winners were Pappu Can’t Dance Saala, Ghajini and Lovestory 2050, respectively.
I was totally ok with the debut award for male, being shared by both Farhan Akhtar and Imran Khan; similarly the female debut award should have been shared by Asin and Anushka Sharma, instead Asin took it home.
Arjun Rampal for Best Supporting Actor was good, but Kangana Ranaut for Best Supporting Actress was unexpected and undeserved. Shahana Goswami for Rock On or Ratna Pathak for JTYJN would have been a much better choice. The problem with Kangana’s performance is that, she is unidimensional and has no range. Give her such a role, and 9 out of 10 times, she will just sleep-walk through it like in Life…In A Metro or Gangster or Woh Lamhe.
Music awards were doled out pretty judiciously. Sukhwinder Singh for Haule Haule and Shreya Ghosal for Teri Ore were really good choices. For the award of Best Music Director, I am sure it must have been a close fight between Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy who produced some great score for Rock On and ARR who was also competing against himself with 3 nominations. But, ARR winning for JTYJN did not go down well, I shall consider this as an award for all the good work Rahman did in 2008, i.e., Jodha-Akbar and Ghajini included. And ARR for Best Background score of Jodha Akbar was good news. Regarding the RD Burman award, not sure how this is rewarded, but I think Amit Trivedi should have been awarded. Finally, the lyrics award for Javed Akhtar was also fine for his simple and meaningful words in Jashn-e-bahara.
Talking now about the mainstream awards, no complains about the Best Director and Best Movie. Ashutosh Gowariker did a great deal of research and a lot of hardwork went into Jodha Akbar. There was nobody more deserving than him, in the category. I would like to contest the Best Actor and Best Actress, though. Taking for granted that its more of a popular vote, Hrithik and Priyanka still did not deserve it; they may have won but they were not the best. In fact, newbie Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai did a better job in RNBDJ and Jodha Akbar, repectively. Even if it was popular vote, then Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai should have won.
All said and done, I think the awards were balanced out pretty well. I would any day accept these results than watch RNBDJ/Ghajini/Dostana take away awards and accolades. I would like to see some transparency in the entire process, though. The system should change, at least introduce a jury for popular award and give 50-50 weightage to public votes as well as jury members votes. That way, there will be more clarity in the process.
At the end of the day, good cinema won. At least the awards will help further the cause of independent cinema and meaningful work, and be appreciative and motivational for film-makers who want to tell us new and different stories. And I hope this trend will stay, not just prove to be an abberation. Perhaps, haule-haule se hawa lagti hai …

@ Rals, good post, i think Hrithik more or less deserved it over SRK or Aamir( Ghajini was not one of his best performances, IMO).
Again comming to Best Supporting Actress, Shahana Goswami(Rock On) or even Mughda Godse( Fashion) were more deserving.
I am not a big Aish fan, but i think she deserved it more over Priyanka for Fashion.
loading...
Who won the RD Burman award?
loading...
I think Priyanka deserved the award to be honest..watch fashion again, there is a sea change in the outlook of the character over the course of the movie and priyanka enacts it with elan. Aishwarya Rai was very unidimensional in her portrayal of Jodha and there weren’t enough layers in her emoting.
>>>>>I don’t understand this Special Jury Mention for Prateik Babbar and Purab Kohli. What does this award mean? And why Prateik Babbar?? For slouching on the couch, being untidy, and having the foresight that Sushant Modi[Ayaz Khan] is not the right guy for his sis?? And Purab Kohli!

He was happy either ways and did not help further the cause of the story.<<<<< I think you are confusing things here, and award is given for the “portrayal” of a character not the inking of it. By ur theory all well etched out characters deserve awards, the awards are for acting skills…not writing skills.
loading...
As for best story, good stories are stories that inspire you. Aamir, A Wednesday and MMJ were all taken more or less from reality and if someone wanted to he could mix all 3 of them to make one movie, so in terms of imagination it was pretty limited storywise. Rock On is not the best story I’ve ever heard, but the best last year in the Indian Film Industry.

@Tejas
Benny Dayal got the R D Burman award
loading...
Totally agree with you on putting RNBDJ, Ghajini and Dostana on the backseat…I couldn’t be happier
loading...
@shubh and Tejas: benny dayal for ghajini; not sure why
loading...
@Ratnakar:yes, i do agree…but if its a popular award, i think ppl wud have voted aamir for ghajini going by its stupendous performance at BO
and yes, ash had done a better job than priyanka who just re-lived her modelling days
loading...
@the_other_pov:yes, they are for acting skills and tats where my problem lies. where..t..f.. was acting?? these both guys just walked through the role in merriment and indifference without adding any value to the story-telling. even without these 2 chars, both movies wud have been alright. try it and u will undertsand what i mean. if its for acting…naseer for ‘a wednesday’ or any other char from MMJ deserved it more…
loading...
‘Best Supporting Actress was unexpected and undeserved’—unexpected thing is good but undeserved is not that much fair. she acted very good in fashion. she deserves that award
loading...
Priyanka won?!
Wow! Fantastic!
I don’t like her one bit, but she really did a great job in ‘Fashion’.
Ash? Hmmm, not too convinced bout her, sorry.
Ditto Hrithik!
Didn’t think much of him in that either!
‘Dostana’ didn’t get anything?
Not even ‘Chaddi of the year’ for John?!
Expected FilmFare to create something on those lines!
Oh but then we’d have to put up with songs with lyrics like, ”Chaddi ke peechhe kya hain”!
;-)
loading...
Shreyas Talpade should’ve got best actor for ‘SAJJANPUR’!
How fantastic was he in that??!
He deserved it man!
loading...
i think all the jurry of our film fare are doing partiality.they only give award to amitabh bachhan,shaharukh khan and hrithik roshan.this is not fare.every year this evil are repeated.everybody knows that jodha akbar was a boring movie and also not a very good movie yet also this movie got best movie,best actor and best director award.in which way they selected they knows everything.i think this year best actor should be aamir khan,best film should be A wednesday.i think all those jurry are bugus.they should do there jobs fairly.unless we treat them as india goverment and our administration system.
loading...
no actor in comic/negative role thankfully. . .those categories didnt make any sense
loading...
I would have chosen Aishwarya for Jodhaa. I just find Priyanka Chopra so vapid onscreen.
Honestly, I liked Aishwarya more in Guru where I don’t think she won anything for either but I thought she was good enough as Jodhaa. I actually preferred her to Hrithik Roshan who’s acting comes off as so mechanical to me at times.
But this habit of Indian awards of rewarding 2 winners. Newcomer to both Irman and Farhan? It’s like they are trying to please everyone in the industry at times.
loading...
Good post…
I do not agree with the major awards though…
Best actor-i dont know why but Hrithik’s performance is given much more respect than it deserves IMO…Naseeruddin Shah for A Wednesday wud hv been a more apt choice…Even Aamir in Ghajini was more worthy of this award thn Hrithik…somehow i fail to see y/hw Hrithik hs won most of his best actor filmfares for Dhoom2, Koi Mil Gaya and KNPH…and mind u, i am a Hrithik fan! but more thn tht m a fan of good cinema…
Best actress: Kajol did a commendable job in U, Me aur Hum, inspite of the somewhat flawed direction…Priyanka’s work ws okayish and definitely not award-worthy…i kno its a bold stmt but even Asin performed better in a spunky role tht reqd chutzpah…
Best film: JA ws good but whn u hv films lik Rock On!!, A Wednesday, OLLO, its tough to digest tht JA is the best of the lot…
Best director: Agreed Ashutosh put in a lot of hard work for JA…but is tht the only parameter for judgement?? I beg to differ…just bcz he researched a lot and othrs didnt hv to (bcz they werent directing period flicks!) doesnt make the othrs any less deserving…Abhishek Kapoor and Neeraj Pandey exhibited better directorial skills IMO…
The rest of the choices arent perfect but still, its heartening to see movies lik MMJ and OLLO getting due recognition…a major blot wud b Manjot Singh, who altho gave a stellar performance, cudnt manage to overshadow eithr Abhay Deol or Paresh Rawal (OLLO) or Naseeruddin Shah (A Wednesday)…
neways…filmfare results wer much fairer ths tim around and it ws definitely good to c SRK and camp tk a backseat
sometims u must let othrs get thr due recognition 2!
loading...
@Benny Dayal: he desrevd it IMO…jus look at the songs he ws part of and u’ll kno wt i mean..
loading...
How come no one liked Manjot Singh? I thought the character was very well written, and very well acted. I am glad that he got the award.
Benny Dayal RD Burman award, dont know how/why?
Shahana Goswami deserved it and got her due. Thank god they didnt award SRK or RNBDJ, SRK has become so preachy and so full of him, he disgusts me these days.
loading...
i hate it when they share awards just to keep 2 people happy…cant the people in the jury make up their minds. and whats with having 6 nominations in some cateogor n 5 in some…all goes to show how much they go out of the way to keep important people in bollywood happy or to ensure their attendance at the awards
also high time they started having nominations for technical awards too instead of just doling them out in the beginning like they were doin a big favour
loading...
@gony dhoni: manjot singh performed very well as the young lucky, he showed a lot of spunk. but it was not an award winning performance. in fact, he cud have got the special mention from jury, instead of pratein babbar and purab kohli
loading...
I am sooo surprised A Wednesday was not nominated or didnt win any awards??? It was such an awesome movie with a great plot. Really shameful in my opinion.
loading...
@kunal: giving away the award to 2 ppl can be interpreted like this- we had no time or patience or capability to judge as to who did a better job…so u both take it
but usually its a please-all ploy :(
loading...
Manjot was brilliant, and he is riding on the darsheel wave.
Nevertheless, Paresh Rawal in MMJ was the best performance of the year by yards. A true masterclass.
loading...
I also agree with the Best Actors choices…Hrithik imo was the best of the nominations and Priyanka (Fashion) too did a better job than Aishwarya (in JA). But yeah, JA didn’t deserve the Best Film and Best Director awards. I mean, Ashutosh did his research and stuff, but that dosen’t mean he was the best director of the lot. And why on earth did OLLO win the Best Costume and Production Design? JA owned those 2 awards. I agree with crazyrals that they should’ve given the Best Supporting Female to either Shahana Goswami (Rock On) or Ratna Pathak-Shah (JTYJN). Kangana, though I felt she did exceptionally well…but she’s been doing those kinda roles all her life…
And crazyrals, I disagree with u on Purab Kohli. Although that Special Jury category was lame, Purab actually hasn’t been given enough credit for his performance in Rock On. He’s done exceptionally well in that movie…in a way, he was the life of Magik. Some of his scenes, like his drunk dance scene in that party were awesome. And he also did a pretty good job of impersonating playing the drums, which actually is really tough. Someone playing a guitar automatically looks a rockstar, but to convince people that you are actually playing the drums, it takes a lot more energy and technique.
loading...
@Doc Ock: yes, it was a lame category and tat was my first problem. but at least they can give it out to the rite ppl and vindicate their stand. but no, lame category and then lame winners…doubly dubious
anyways…i still do feel tat if u eliminate purab from the movie and then koel purie…the movie still wud have worked. it was a dch with one character more :( and tats the reason why i disagree with the choice to award him. he played the char well, not doubting his acting skills… but it was not an award winning one…tats all
loading...
I think Prateik Babbar did an excellent job of portraying an artist who is a recluse. Is his character essential to the plot? absolutely yess!!
JTYJN is a movie about todays youth, the prateiks of the world might not play an important part in the love stories or the friends circle…but these are the people who add some philosophy to the story. It was a very well enacted role. He is pretending to not care about the lead actress but he does care, there is brotherly love and its showed in a very subtle non dramatic way..amazingly well done by prateik.
As for Purab Kohli…is his character essential to the plot? I cant believe you think he wasn’t. dude hes the one who brings the band back together!! what movie were u watching? LOL
I will maintain that performance awards shud be based solely on the potrayal rather than the depth of the character. and the portrayal of both these characters were perfect!
Crazyral…how do you rate acting? By the lenght of the role? Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor Oscar for Silence of the Lamb…his screentime was just 16 minutes!!
loading...
@the_other_pov: its never the screen-time dude. we were watching the same movie but with different perspectives
let me copy-paste from my post:Purab Kohli! He had nothing to lose in Rock On, he was just caught in-between Arjun Rampal and Farhan Akhtar’s ego clash. When they called the band off, he happily joined his dad’s business; when the band was reinstated he started driving around in the SUV once more. He was happy either ways and did not help further the cause of the story
’sleepless in seattle’ which is considered one of the best romantic movies has the screentime of the lead-pair for just 6 mins. tom hanks and meg ryan were together for just 6 mins, and the entire build-up happened externally. so, its never the screen-time.
i appreciate u trying ur hardest to justify prateik babbar and purab kohli, i still dont buy ur argument for the simple reason that the insight prateik has cud have easily been tagged to on of the common friends. they did not need a third wacko character to make genelia realise tat sid was not the guy for her and tat imran and she are meant for each other etc. when asked by imran khan as to why does he not find a job for himself, prateik says a really pathetic line “ameer hone ka yahi to faida hai”…tat attitude was utter bullshit. and u say he was adding philosophy to the story
regarding purab… i still stick to my comment#25. purab was a tag-along, in fact luke kenny was a stronger reason for them to perfrom together. luke kenny cud have done the other minor silly things tat purab ultimately did
loading...
But thats life. Some people really do have their Dads SUVs…and dont have a reason to find a job coz “ameer hone ka yahi faayda hain”.
Its reality yaar. That doesn’t mean the character doesn’t have depth…infact it takes alot more character to want to discover yourself than follow the crowd and do the next thing.
KD is the one who rediscovers the band. Infact playing a non commital kinda directionless character also takes acting skill. Acting is just not limited to being dramatic…in real life people are not overtly dramatic about situations. Thats why JTYJN connected with the audience, coa is wasn’t far from reality. So did Rock On!!
Every member in a band doesn’t make their ego the centre of the band…some people are sliders, some people are not passionate enough and some people are just too rich to care. That doesn’t take away from their character or the potrayal of it.
loading...
@the_other_pov: i started out saying tat the performance was not award-worthy, but more analysis into this has resulted in negating the requirement of the character altogether
give it a break … it was a lame award to begin with … special-jury-mention … lol!
loading...
I am happy wth this years filmfare awards.Priyanka was good in Fashion but honestly there were not much choices also.Given the fact that it was a tailor made role for her and also that the film did good business she was sure to win it.I do agree with your opinion on art direction and costume awards.Jodha Akbar should have won them.Yes I also wanted Shahana to win the best supporting actress award.But anyways she got the critics award and was not completely ignored.The best music director award is given on the basis of popularity and JTYJN was a huge musical hit…even though not Rahman’s best in 2008.A wednesday was criminally ignored.It deserved the best story award and a critics award for Naseruddin Shah.But anyways this year the awards were much better than maybe the last 5-6 years.
loading...
Best picture, best director, best story, screenplay best dialogues should all have gone to A Wednesday and instead A wednesday did not win a single award. It had a brilliant story, a twist in the movie that no would
expect. It had brilliant screenplay, dialogues and direction which kept the viewer totally involved without
being boring even for a minute. Rock On gets Best Story for rehashing the Dil Chahta Hai story this time in a rock band.
Jodha Akbar was a lengthy, boring movie. It was’nt historically accurate and all it had was some saas bahu drama and director’s imaginary romance. It could have named Radha Jamal and it would’nt have made any difference. It should have definitely won Best Costumes though.
loading...
Best Actor should have gone to SRK for enacting the role of Suri so well. Aamir is a very good actor and he has given great performances in Sarfarosh, Ghulam, Rangeela and Rang De but this was one of his worst performances. It was what Sunny does in most of his movies. Naseer was excellent in A Wednesday but somehow his role had just dialogues and not that many scenes which showed his acting abilities except for the first police station scene.
Hrithik was just ok and he did not suit the role of Akbar. He has a feeble voice and when he was doing that sword practice scenes it looked like it was a scene from Dhoom 2.
Best Actress – Anushka should have won this as well as the best debut. Priyanka had a great role but she did not act well. She could’nt even do the catwalk well and she was playing a model. Any other actress like Madhuri or Tabu would have given a brilliant performance in this same role. Anushka was brilliant in Rab Ne in every scene. Asin overacted like hell with her exaggerated hand movements in scenes like ‘wo mera lover’ and that vip underwear ad scene.
Best Supporting Actor: Arjun Ramphal was just ok. Irrfan Khan was excellent in MMJ and he deserved it. Jimmy Sheirgill was excellent in A wednesday and he was’nt even nominated. Even Kay Kay Menon was very good in MMJ and
he was’nt even nominated. Paresh Rawal in MMJ was ok. His role did not have much to do and his role can be edited
out of the movie and it will not make any difference to the movie. Paresh in OLLO was doing three roles that he
has already done in his other movies.
Best Supporting Actress should have been gone to Shahana Goswami. Kangana acted well and was brilliant in the catwalk scenes but she has been doing this same role in every movie of hers. Best Music should have gone to SEL for Rock On as the music was great. every song was good. This was the first time we had rock music in hindi cinema. A R Rahman’s music was good too but I think they gave it to him because of the Oscar. If it was for Ghajini, JTYJN, Yuvvraaj and Jodha Akbar collectively he deserves the award. Pappu cant dance saala choreography was worst and they
gave it to Longines bcoz he choreographed ‘Jai Ho’. Best choreography was phir milenge chalte chalte song from Rab Ne and it was’nt even nominated.
Manjot singh was good in OLLO but Critics best actor for that?. It should have gone to Naseer. Farhan deserved the best debut not Imran. Imran was wooden in most of the scenes except in the climax scenes.
what the hell is Outstanding Performance? Prateik Babbar was overrated by the critics just bcoz he is smita patil’s son. He hardly had any role in the movie and was’nt that good either. Purabh Kohli was good but did not deserve an award. he should have been nominated in supporting or comic role category.
what happened to the comic and negative categories? If they remove this categories lot of actors will not get any awards. Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards will always be given to stars in hindi film industry.
loading...
Best Actor was very simple actually..This is how it works.
Best Actor – SRK
but he won last year..ok, then the actor a blockbuster – Aamir Khan
but he wont show up so whats the point
ok next biggest star – Hrithik Roshan..
So Hrithik it is..
loading...
@sputnik:i do agree with u on best actor and best actress, in fact i have mentioned abt anushka sharma being better than priyanka
loading...
@Faraaz:if tats a joke then u r well on it. but if u did mean it then u r forgetting tat filmfare best actor was given to aamir khan for raja hindustani and for lagaan, although he never attends the awards function
loading...
Am I the only one who saw where ‘A Wednesday’ was heading at interval point??
It still loved the movie, but it did become very clear quite earlier on in the film…
But yep, it deserved the recognition at the awards.
Ditto MMJ.
K.K and Irfan were great, but I really did like Paresh and especially Madhvan too.
Madhvan displayed the emotions/fears of the character BRILLIANTLY!
loading...
@Steve: yup, ‘a wednesday’ was badly ignored :(
loading...
sputnik n crazyrals – you guys are both right, whatever anybody might feel abt the movie but Anushka was really great in RNBDJ, better than Priyanka and even better than SRK in the movie. she should hav got best actress
loading...
Paresh Rawal for MMJ is my choice…n Anushka was the best for me in RBNDJ
loading...
@all who said this wsnt x person’s best performance, so he doesnt deserve the award:
guys, whethr a person hs given the best performance of hs career in a movie is beyond the point…wt matters is if his performanc is best among this yrs lot…so for eg. jus bcz an actor lik aamir hs given so many legendary performances in hs career does not mean tht his considerably lesser performanc in ghajini isnt award-worthy…if he’s the best of the lot, the award is his! if he isnt, then it isnt, even if it mayb his best show ever!
case in point: salman khan for hum aapke hain kaun lost out to nana patekar for krantiveer…he never came up wit a better performanc again (except mayb tere naam) but tht didnt entitle him to the award in the name of sympathy!
loading...
I agree with the your suggestion for transparency and 50-50 weightage thing. I also felt that the 2008 Filmfare award has a good list of winners even though I was quite disappointed that A Wednesday didn’t win any major award.
loading...
agreed with everything you said. except for the following 3…. best actress and critics award for best actor. priyanka lived the part. and manjyot was brilliant for someone that young. i do however think that if it went to abhay then i would be ok.best actor i felt should have gone to amir or naseruddin. jodha akhbar was brilliant beacuse of its presentation , i found both the leads not very believable.
the speacial mention was silly i think. and why ask shah rukh to introduce the slumdog kids. his jokes were not very good. i think that rk would have done a better job. the host rk,ik and ks were awesome, dp needs to work more on connecting with the audience.
